en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yamazaki Mazak has launched the next-generation compact vertical machining center, the FF-400V/30L. This machine adopts a modular moving-column gantry structure, with main components made of MEEHANITE cast iron, optimized through finite element analysis to ensure high rigidity, long-term precision retention, and excellent thermal stability. The X/Y/Z axes utilize Mazak's own precision ball screws, paired with high-rigidity linear roller guides, high-power servo motors, and smooth high-gain amplifiers to achieve high-speed, high-precision drive performance. The FF-400V/30L is suitable for drilling and machining lightweight aluminum die-cast parts, as well as cutting common materials such as cast iron and steel.

The machine is equipped with a Mazak-designed #30 compact high-performance spindle, featuring grease-lubricated ceramic bearings that suppress thermal displacement, improve sintering resistance, and extend the spindle's high-speed lifespan. A flexible coupling is configured to dampen vibration, facilitating easy maintenance and replacement. Regarding the tool magazine, the standard configuration is a disc-type magazine with a capacity of 14 tools, expandable to 26 tools as an option. The maximum tool size is Φ80 (Φ125 when no adjacent tools are present), with a maximum length of 250 mm and a maximum weight of 3.5 kg. The tool magazine is driven by a servo motor, with direct tool gripping (no arm), achieving a chip-to-chip (C to C) tool change time of 2.6 seconds.

The control system employs the latest-generation MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC system, featuring a 15-inch vertical touchscreen and full keyboard operation, supporting "QUICK MAZATROL" shortcut programming. The system incorporates three Ez features: Ez Operation (superior operability with customizable displays and enhanced MAZATROL programming); Ez Machining (high-speed, high-precision machining equipped with thermal displacement control systems "Thermal Shield" and "Smooth Machining Configuration"); and Ez Setup (digital preparation, enabling machine reproduction on an office PC via linkage with Smooth CAM Ai to improve work efficiency).

The FF-400V/30L features a fixed worktable design, with a standard T-slot worktable size of 600 mm × 400 mm, a maximum load capacity of 400 kg, and a maximum workpiece size of 1000 mm × 500 mm × 590 mm. The worktable height from the floor is 735 mm. Options include an extended worktable, lowered worktable, A-axis or A/C-axis rotary table, and a dual-pallet changer, enabling multi-face machining in a single setup. For automation, the machine supports gantry loading or multi-joint robot part loading/unloading. Mazak China can provide a one-stop automation solution.

The machine is equipped with a reverse-roller chip conveyor. The coolant tank is located at the rear of the machine, with pneumatic and lubrication components centrally arranged for easy maintenance. Multiple machines can be placed side-by-side in close proximity to form a compact production line.
